NEW CANAAN, Conn. -- The New Canaan Chamber of Commerce is gearing up for the fifth annual Taste of the Town Stroll, which includes over 20 different participating stores and restaurants, on Thursday.

A "food-raiser” for the New Canaan Food Pantry, the Taste of the Town Stroll will collect donations for the pantry (donations can be dropped off at the stroll, not before) in exchange for a chance to win prizes after visiting at least 12 of the stores on the map.

Activities and culinary samples will be available at each of the participating venues throughout downtown New Canaan.

Over $7,000 worth of prizes will be given out on the night of the stroll to participants who complete the challenge.

The event will begin at 6 p.m. After you make your donation, you will be handed a map detailing all the stores and restaurants that are offering free sips and samples.

After you have visited all the required locations, you will turn your Map back in and be entered to win. Prizes will be drawn at 9 p.m. in the Pop Up Park. You do not need to be present to win.
